HEADLINES
IDF hits Iran chemical weapons facility
Artemis II returns after historic Moon mission
Israel ousts Spain from US CMCC
The time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF said it struck a factory that systematically transferred chemical substances to the Iranian terror regime designated for the development of chemical weapons, and earlier Tuesday it struck a research and development facility tied to that program. The military also released figures describing Operation Roaring Lion in numbers.
In Regional Impacts, airline pilots express safety concerns about flying in the Middle East during the Iran conflict and say they fear retribution from airlines for refusing high-risk assignments, including potential lost pay or termination if they decline certain trips. Separately, ship tracking data show the majority of vessels that passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past day were linked to Iran, with three tankers leaving Iranian waters and four dry bulk ships also sailing, despite a two-week ceasefire between Tehran and Washington. At the same time, a burst of regional updates includes reports from Dubai of alarms, the burial of Ilan Fiorentino at Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a court ruling allowing the parents of abducted Yotam Haim to use his semen to have offspring, Ramat Hasharon closing its schools while Herzliya is listed as green, a heavy damage incident in the Upper Galilee near Misgav, and word that talks with Iran have begun, with one notable detail referenced.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Israel expelled Spain from the United States' Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat, a move announced by the Foreign Ministry on Friday afternoon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the action came after Spain chose repeatedly to stand against Israel and that Spain had defamed the IDF and its soldiers, adding he would not tolerate what he called hypocrisy and hostility. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said the move, carried out in coordination with the United States, stemmed from Spain’s obsessive anti-Israel bias and its inability to contribute constructively to the peace plan framework under the US-led initiative; Spain was notified of the decision. The CMCC, created in October 2025 to oversee civilian-military coordination, operates within the US Central Command structure.
In Uplifting News, Artemis II astronauts return to Earth after a historic crewed mission to the Moon. After 10 days in space, the four Artemis II astronauts are on a trajectory toward a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off southern California aboard the Orion capsule Integrity. The plan calls for Orion to separate from its service module, endure a fiery re-entry with a brief radio blackout, and then parachute into the sea, where the crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen—are expected to be recovered shortly after sunset off the coast of San Diego. The mission, launched from Cape Canaveral on April 1, marks humanity’s first crewed voyage to the Moon’s vicinity since the Apollo era.
